Bristol Rovers Relegated after 94 Years
Who once said Football was a funny old game ? It Harrison Phillips Jersey certainly is as Bristol Rovers found themselves unexpectedly relegated to the Conference for the first time in 94 years on Saturday.Going into the game, they needed Wycombe to fail to beat to Gregory Rousseau Jersey Torquay and Northampton Town to lose at home to Oxford to escape the drop, but it wasnt to be.On 36 minutes, Colin Daniel side footed Tommy Doyle Jersey home to give the Mansfield Town the lead at Bristol Rovers and with both Wycombe and Northampton winning at half time, it was certainly going to be a second half of nervous tension as the Pirates fought to keep their Football League status intact as they fell into the drop zone.An early second half goal at Sixfields saw Northampton go 3-1 up against a ten man Andre Smith Jersey Oxford and a third for Wycombe left the Pirates chasing an uphill battle as time went on and despite chances to find the net, it was Jordan Poyer Jersey the Pirates who found themselves relegated.
